SSL VPN: Convert .ovpn to .apc/.epc for Site-to-Site SSL Tunnels

Please make a tool to conver regular openvpn configuartion files to your apc/epc format. Without such a tool it is impossible to use an astaro as client for existing openvpn server.

        This is the only thing which is extremely missing from UTM. Definitely voting for this!

        I agree that this feature is necessary. UTM uses OpenVPN, which is a standard. It makes no sense that UTM cannot import a .ovpn file plus the necessary certs and key. This should be a relatively trivial feature to implement, since a .ovpn file is clear text. Alternataively to supporting importation of a .ovpn, UTM could generate a template .apc file with clearly defined sections for a user to paste in the relevant info (ovpn configuration plus certs and key). How hard can that be?

        Must have feature, there is no logical reason not to support OVPN client files.

        temp workaround... backup the file at /var/chroot-openvpn/etc/openvpn/client/REF_SslCliStrongvpn/config-default then modify it with your OpenVPN info then feed the webui any .apc file and it will create the tunnel with your settings...

        I was to buy the hardware version of Astaro but after this I don't think I will. Can anyone share how I can convert .ovpn to apc or epc? This needs to be done.

        I can not believe this was not done from the beginning. To create some proprietary way that's specific for this brand of router for this kind of connection is so dark-ages.

        Looking right now for a way to interconnect Astaro & Linux server. This feature is definitely demanded.

        I would like to see the ability to specify an OVPN file from the Web Admin, but would be satisfied with a stand alone tool to make the conversion.

      • Paul BradleyPaul Bradley commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Yes, please add this feature, I think using an open standard then creating a proprietary and closed configuration model for it is very awkward! It would be much appreciated if this aspect of Astaro was made fully open and standards compliant.
